I snuck around, unlocking anything anyone had the temerity to try to close off, attacking enemies from afar. The new skill system feels more general, more haphazard and do-what-you-want.īut after allowing it time to breathe, I didn't find myself playing Fallout 4 any differently in the moment than I did every other Bethesda game of the last decade. I felt like Fallout 4 gave me less room to focus with my character, to determine his build and pursue it. At first, I missed the multiple layers and point systems present in Fallout 3 and Fallout: New Vegas. Still, after a few levels, it felt like a much a simpler way to play Fallout. Ostensibly, Fallout 4 is an RPG - those familiar with the genre will immediately comprehend the game's SPECIAL system, which stands for Strength, Perception, Endurance, Charisma, Intelligence, Agility and Luck. You play as a survivor from Vault 111, who, through circumstances I should best leave unelaborated, finds himself transported 200 years into the future and separated from his family.
Before the bombs fell, some citizens were able to find shelter within the Vaults, massive, hyper-advanced underground cities designed to withstand the end of the world. Like every Fallout game, Fallout 4 places you in the shoes of a fish out of water, thrown into the wasteland remains of a nuclear post-apocalypse.
Fallout 4's Skills and abilities are considerably streamlined I'm not nearly as big a fan of the Diamond City radio DJ as I was of Three Dog in Fallout 3.Īnd all of that matters just enough for me to feel obligated to say it before I explain how, after more than 60 hours of Fallout 4 in seven days, the only thing stopping me from going back into it is taking this time, right now, to tell you about the game.
And occasionally, despite a next-gen visual overhaul, its human characters still look a little terrifying. Its user interface is often too opaque, and at times Fallout 4 has some of the same technical issues as Bethesda's previous games, from strange AI quirks to performance hitches and actual hard locks of the software. Fallout 4 is too big for me to tell you even a fraction of all there is to say about it.
